A Reiki Master Attunement separates Reiki from other energy healing modalities. Since the attunements are on the etheric level , there is no scientific explanation as to how and why they work, they just do.

To explain what a Reiki Master attunement is, we have to commonly agree that we are all connected to one Source ” God or whatever you feel comfortable with. As we were born into this world we had a close and intact connection to this source, the universe. Over the time of our education and adjustment to our social environment, our connection still broke, due to misconception of the mass consciousness ” society - about the truth and concept of life. Here comes in the concept of Reiki and attunements. Becoming attuned into Reiki energies is kind of like tuning into a radio frequency. Simply, the attunement to Reiki restores frequencies to Higher Energy realities, which brings in healing.

It also tells our subconscious minds that we are ready and willing to regain control of our lives, our health, and our spiritual well being, and we do it with our own two hands!

After the Reiki Master attunement is transmitted, the only thing to be done, in order to practice Reiki, is to set the intention to heal and the energy will immediately starts flowing.

Reiki Master Attunement - possibility 1 What is the best way to give a Distance Attunement?

Once you’ve received a Reiki attunement you have the key and authorization to attune others into the same level. There are many different ways to send an attunement and eventually you will find the way you are most comfortable with. With the Reiki Manual you will receive from your Reiki Master, you will find advice on how to attune your students in several steps. This includes the transfer of symbols, which represent different possibilities you will have with Reiki . Distant attunement simply means that your student doenst have to be there physically.

You will make a connection spiritually through your both Higher Self and exchange the Reiki energy at an arranged point of time.

If you intend to separate your attunements into levels, you have to set your intention to whichever level you want to transmit. I wouldn’t suggest breaking up your Reiki Master Attunement into any more than 3 levels, level 1, level 2, and the Master level. There are people who split up 5 levels! In my opinion, it is probably just to make more money. But only few Reiki Master Course includes all Levels together. I have had wonderful results when sending Complete Reiki Master Attunement no matter what level the person was at, from beginners to advanced. The only exception I do is, if people want to experience the Reiki energies, I give Reiki 1 separately. However, some people think it is easier to handle the energetic changes of the 3 levels when they are split up. I personally think that the Universe knows what each person can handle or not, so I leave it up to Spirit to decide what the person is ready for.

Reiki Master Attunement - possibility 2 How to proceed a Hands-on-Attunement?

Giving a hands-on attunement is the same procedure as giving a distance attunement, except the person should be physically there. Tell your client what you’ll intend to do and that he should close his eyes and put his hands in the prayer position. Next, you should stand behind him to open his aura and place the symbols into the crown chakra. After that you can move to the front to complete the procedure. Once the Reiki Master attunement is done let him know that he should sit for a while to ground himself. The person might imagine, that roots coming out from the feet anchoring into the ground. If your client might feel dizzy or even a little nauseous for some time afterwards, grounding is a great help, too. Explain him that what he is experiencing is a normal reaction to attunements. Before you start giving hands-on attunements, I would suggest that you practice on a doll to gain confidence. As with all skills, practice as much as you need to in order to get ready.

Reiki Master Attunement - possibility 3 How to proceed a Healing Attunement?

Transmitting a Healing attunement is a wonderful way to give an attunement to people who have no intention to learn or teach Reiki. They only want to be healed. Naturally you have to set a different intention to reflect the nature of the attunement. Your intention is to heal your clients. You might say, for example, “May this healing attunement work for (recipient’s) kidney pain and the energies I transmit will be integrated to his/her Perfect Health now. From day to day he/her feels better. So be it.”

A healing attunement is a part of the energy healing concept. The clients will be attuned to your intention ” to regain the overall health. It is also called Distant or Absent Healing.

Reiki Healing HIV/AIDS, Reaching the World

I recently spoke to a young man, a USA citizen, who was told to get his affairs in order” as he lay in the hospital with HIV/AIDS. Today, his HIV viral load is undetectable. He had been approached by a Reiki master while lying in the hospital bed. After receiving Reiki treatments, he learned Reiki himself, and is now helping some of the most disadvantaged, angry and impoverished people in the USA, which includes administering Reiki.

In my homestate of Washington State, Reiki is being embraced by Christian churches. Once disapproved by this establishment, a Washington State church declared they had received new information from God on this topic. They don’t call it Reiki, they call it the Holy Spirit, which, through loving intention, they place their hands on those in need, and universal life force, of which some of us simply call, “love,” passes into the recipients,  some of which are young men getting themselves into trouble with the law and society in general. They report they have seen it result in everything from miraculous physical cures to the reversal of harsh legal sentences.

A First Nations (aka Indian, Native American) woman who became attuned to Reiki reported that it enhanced all of her other native healing modalities. Reiki did not take away her traditions, but rather, enhanced them.

How is this happening? How can you benefit? As the world evolves and rises above its “us vs. them” separation, Reiki no longer seems to be a strange, exotic anti-Christ method developed by “them” (the Japanese). Rather, its Japanese name of Reiki stuck with it, but it is of the universe, of God, regardless of which one of His/Her people rediscovered it and named it. And, as more and more Reiki is given on earth, the more the earth rises to that higher ability to move from separation and ill-health to Oneness and pure health.

You can both receive Reiki treatments to help yourself rise into this higher plain, but you can also become attuned to give Reiki to yourself and others, even to the earth, plants and animals. Reiki is one of many beautiful healing modalities that works with and enhances all the others, from herbal remedies to relaxation response therapies to prayer. In Washington State, for example, there are many Reiki “circles” where practitioners give this Loving Energy to each other, as well as teachers who will attune and train you. Although considered by many to be “plan B,” there are also methods of self-attunement and distance attunement that can more easily fit into some people’s budget and schedule.

I’m going to talk about stress management and how to cope. And especially your Wedding day. Stress is the state of mind most likely to spoil that special day, event or interview. Reiki is the ultimate ‘Stress Management Tool’ Channel Reiki Healing Energy to quieten the mind, quieten the mind and the body relaxes-releases: Release from the body is a cleared mind, being held in stillness and silence, with access to healing energy gives the whole ‘Self’ a window of opportunity for restoration..

Leading up to the Wedding day, if you can arrange for your guests, especially people close to the Bride and Groom, a Reiki treatment a few weeks before the big day. You will be amazed how stress free everyone is. To cope with the pressure the big day produces, you couldn’t do better, Reiki cannot guarantee the weather, but the reduction in stress will help you cope whatever that turns out to throw at you:-)

Stress has been a rising cause of sickness from work replacing bad backs as the main cause of absence. In total, more than 5 million working days a year are now list in the UK alone to complaints of stress.

I would say anything that reduces stress levels, I would give it a fair trial. I know many Brides that have had a Reiki session apx two weeks before the wedding, and then had a Reiki practitioner come to the house on the morning of the wedding day, working on the bride, the bridesmaids and especially the Mother of the bride. I know it makes a great deal of difference to how the big day has gone. The stress is relieved to a great extent to every-one’s relief.

I also know some businesses have a Reiki Therapist visit their company and have them give a short Reiki treatment as the employers sit at their desks - stress levels go down and productivity increases.

Doctors are fully aware of the presence of stress - they are particularly vulnerable to it themselves, and a growing number of GP practices have stress management counsellors on-board for patient referral. Hopefully as they become increasingly aware that emotional and psychological conditions respond remarkably well to complementary therapy, including Reiki, they are more likely to suggest an alternative, natural rout for some treatments.

Stress is basically how you perceive the demands and pressures that life presents, and how you are able to draw on your inner resources to cope. What you find unable to cope with today - you will take everything in your stride with Reiki.

There is no need for you to believe in Reiki - or, for that matter, in any other holistic healing system: It will still work! The five Precepts of Dr Mikao Usui can have a profound effect on lives, though Reiki is NOT a religion.

1. Just for today, do not worry.
2. Just for today, do not anger.
3. Honour your parents, teachers and elders.
4. Earn your living honestly.
5. Show gratitude to every living thing.

The point that the Reiki principles make, is the life force relies on the views and judgments that we practice and make known. In other words, if we think in a positive manner and try to feel only good feelings, such as caring or closeness, and dedicate our life to discipline and perseverance (as best we can) the life energy is profuse and the stress diminishes to that which we can cope with.

Cure almost any stressful conditions of the Mind Body or Spirit.

The practice of Reiki was founded by Dr. Mikao Usui in the early 1900’s.  It’s been argued as to whether Reiki is a spiritual system or a system of healing or both.  At it’s very essence Reiki is simply a method for connecting to and staying connected with the Universal Life Energy that is constantly surrounding us.  In doing so, Reiki helps its practitioners lead more focused, peaceful lives.  So, maybe it is a spiritual system, and maybe it does heal us.

At the heart of Reiki are 5 Principles that any serious practitioner will meditate on frequently and practice daily.  These Principles are not always easy to keep, but serve as an excellent guideline for conducting one’s life.  The 5 principles are as follows:

Just for today,

No Anger

No Worry

Be Grateful

Work Hard

Be Kind
This version is the most boiled down of all, and curiously, the most comprehensive.  Let’s look at each one.

No Anger - I will not anger, and I will endeavor not to cause anger.  I believe this refers to the non-productive type of anger that some of us feel occasionally, and some of us feel chronically.  It’s irritable anger, petty anger; anger that we think is somehow going to change a situation.  This does not refer to the anger you might feel over a crime or other serious injustice or harm.  I believe that the concept of No Anger also means endeavoring not to cause anger in others.  It is possible to be mindful of how our words and actions affect others, while still being true to ourselves and staying connected to our authentic selves.

No Worry - I won’t worry, and I will do my best not to cause others worry.  Worry produces nothing positive, but can create a lot of negatives.  This doesn’t excuse us from having a Plan A and a Plan B, or making correct choices so as to not bring about situations that might cause us to worry.  But worry in and of itself is a useless waste of precious energy.  Causing others undue worry is the same as causing others anger.  We should avoid doing it when possible.

Be Grateful - I will be grateful for the positives.  On a really bad day, it may be hard to find the positives, but seek them out nevertheless.  And do something nice for someone else - give them something to be grateful for, too.

Work Hard - I will put my whole self into what I am doing.  Whether it’s my spiritual practice, my job, washing dishes, visiting a loved one in the hospital, reading to a child, exercising or walking the dog.  These activities are the things that our daily life is made of.  Even drudgery like doing the laundry (I actually like doing laundry, but most people think I’m weird) is still an honorable task.  When you’re fortunate enough to be doing things you feel good about, work hard at those things too - even if it’s napping on the beach!

Be Kind - I will be kind to all creatures.  Not just humans.  Not just the humans I like.  We are connected to all creatures and it’s our honor and duty to treat each other with respect and kindness.  It feels good.  I know that sometimes it’s hard to be kind to someone if you have negative feelings towards them.  Just put that effort out there.  It may make a difference and even if it doesn’t, you tried.

Seems so simple.  And these 5 Principles of Reiki have been repeated in so many different ways and been set forth in so many other places as well.  These concepts aren’t new.  But if you really try to internalize them and practice them, they will make a difference in your life.

Reiki is a natural healing therapy. This method of healing is usually subject to a lot of criticisms the same way other related practices of alternative medicine are. However, it has been a successful form of natural healing for a very long time. It also hasn’t received any negative reports pertaining to the effects of receiving this treatment. Due to the popularity of this method of treatment, it has gained the trust of the public and a number of people advocate that it has helped them with amazing results.

The Question Asked ‘Is Natural Healing Enough?’

Many medical practitioners and members of the professional medical community find it alarming that individuals who receive any form of natural treatment (and other alternative medicinal therapies) might abandon conventional procedures. Since this issue is one of concern and continually raised, a number of reiki practitioners have begun advising individuals that receive their treatment to also look into professional or conventional medical assistance if they so desire.

You may also have heard some critics unfavorably describe it as a way of communicating with “Satan” or another form of delivering occult practices. To be fair, this issue should be viewed in a subjective manner, since it is not established or directly associated with any kind of religion.

For or Against Alternative Therapies

Whether you agree or disagree with any alternative therapy, the choice is yours. What works for one person does not always work for another. Every person is different, even though every human body is composed of antibodies that actually help in self-healing and immunity. Reiki follows the principles of the mind and is attributed to what is called the placebo effect. It’s not an unhealthy practice for the patient. It is pure energy and when the desire to be healed is sincere the benefits and results are worth any criticism made.

I am interested in becoming a reiki practitioner, but where do I find training for this? Anyone know of any certifications available? Preferrably in the Mid-west?

Greetings,
The first thing that I would recommend to you is to first UNDERSTAND what Reiki is and is not. Today, in the West, Reiki has become many different things for many different people. Some people claim that Reiki came from Native Americans, Atlantians, Tibet, and even from outer space!

There are many different types of Reiki out there - some having very little to do with anything Reiki at all. Some forms of "reiki' are nothing more than glamorized marketing ploys to get some sucker to buy into the latest fad. Please be aware of this.

Most of the books and web sites out there are grossly misleading - all feeding off of the same misinformation, twisting and turning it to appear as something new and improved.

If you'd like, I would offer to you some advice, if you'd care to contact me. I can point you in the right direction for books and things to get you building a good solid foundation on Reiki (and tell you which ones to avoid).
For example = any book written by Frank Petter is a good source. Any book written by Diane Stien or Maureen Kelly is NOT.

I can also help you look for a teacher and an accurate style of Reiki.

Contact me offlist and I will give you my web site address that contains much information on Reiki. We can talk further about how to screen teachers, interview them, etc.. .

Looking forward to hearing from you.
